I Returned, But My Power is the Same

“It’s too bad to just wash your face and hands.”

Lieutenant Young So-jin takes off her combat uniform and says while wearing only a military t-shirt.

Oh, yes.

I have a military tee.

I quickly took off my battle uniform.

A military t-shirt stained with blood is clinging to his body.

It absorbs sweat well.

dries up quickly

It doesn't smell.

It is similar to a general functional T-shirt, but in addition to that, it also functions as a bulletproof and sword-proof.

This is also a piece of equipment.

‘The bottoms are… well, you have to wear them as they are.’

Unlike in the past, there were some puffy pants called military underpants at the bottom.

It has a protective function like a military tee.

But it's a little uncomfortable to wear, so I don't wear it well.

If I had known it would be like this, I would have worn it.

Lieutenant Young So-jin took off her combat boots and socks and said.

“If I had known this would be the case, I would have worn military underpants as well.”

“I was thinking about it too.”

“I can’t help it. Let’s just go in.”

"Yes."

I threw my boots and socks on the grass and followed Lieutenant Young So-jin into the lake.

The blood dripping from his body is washed away.

“Ah~ I think I’m going to live a little now.”

Lieutenant Young So-jin mutters while only sticking his head out.

His face is full of smiles.

me too

I can feel the fatigue disappearing in one shot.

Oops-

After soaking your hair in fondant, pour water on your face a few times to make it even more refreshing.

okay.

this is happiness

Oh, but...

“Vice-Captain.”

"Huh?"

“I haven’t cleaned this side of my face yet.”

"blood?"

"Yes."

Lieutenant Young So-jin bites his face with the back of his hand and asks a question.

But it's slightly below the side I'm pointing to.

“It’s a little higher.”

“It’s hard to clean because you can’t see it. Can you wipe it off?”

“Uh… is that okay?”

“How are you?”

Lieutenant Young So-jin swims and approaches.

Then he turns his head to one side and turns his face.

It seems that the skin is more radiant because it is wet.

Is this what it feels like to actually watch a female celebrity CF?

“Then for a moment…”

"Huh."

I bent my index finger slightly and brought it to Lieutenant Young So-jin's face.

And rubbed carefully.

It was hard to erase because it had hardened, but after repeating it three or four more times, it disappeared quickly.

“It’s done.”

"thanks."

"no."

“Oh, come to think of it, I cleaned it last time.”

"Yes?"

“At the naengmyeon restaurant a while ago. Do-jin put something on your face.”

Uh, right.

It was.

But you remember all that.

“What are we doing burying each other?”

"haha."

After that, I washed my body for a while and went out to land.

The already sticky military tee is sticking even tighter because of the water.

therefore···

“I don’t have any clothes to change into, so it’s a bit like that.”

“Yeah… a little…”“Still, the combat uniforms and this military tee are good, so they say that they dry well. I think I heard it one day while training.”

“Ah… is that so?”

"Huh."

So... I can't look at Lieutenant Young So-jin. Because the contours of his body were exposed on a wet military tee.

There really is nowhere to look.

I looked only at the distant mountains, and grabbed my combat boots, socks, and a combat jacket.

And went to the first place.

“I think the tent should be pitched like this.”

“Yes, I will.”

Lieutenant Young So-jin shook her head and answered.

I haven't even used shampoo, so why does it smell like it?

Anyway.

Tents were set up near the exit.

There is nothing difficult.

beep-

Just press a few buttons and you're done.

Is it a treasure created by the era of 2040?

As simple as it is, the performance is inferior to that of a tent like that in an guerrilla field, but the orcs have already been caught, so the performance is not important.

And only the shield is weak.

It blocks everything like mosquitoes and bugs.

rumbling-

After washing and setting up the tent, they come late. terrible hunger.

The tummy skin is so close that it sticks to the back.

Lieutenant Young So-jin's situation was no different.

“Dojin-ah, aren’t you hungry?”

“It hurts…”

“You don’t want anything to eat around…”

“Looking earlier, I heard that there are some things like fruit.”

"okay?"

"Yes. I think I should eat some of that.”

"Let's go, let's go."

"Yes. Come this way."

Second Lieutenant Young So-jin follows me.

It's like looking at a child who's very excited about buying sweets.

It was shooting around and picking fruit.

While receiving education about the dungeon, it was easy to distinguish between what was edible and what was not.

It's too small to even send a message to the liver.

Then, Lieutenant Young So-jin found something and ran somewhere.

“That’s so big!”

what a tall tree.

One large fruit hangs in a row.

That's... Oh, that's it.

It is similar to an apple, but with a stronger sweetness.

Education is education, and I remember it as soon as I saw it thanks to the fact that I camped in this dungeon and that dungeon before returning.

“Itcha!”

Lieutenant Young Sojin jumped and stretched out his hand.

But it was too high for that.

“Am I going to pick you up?”

“Oh, will you?”

Lieutenant Young So-jin whines and steps aside.

His face is slightly weeping.

“Too high for me.”

“I’ll get it right away.”

high is high

But I'm also tall, so if I lift my heel and stretch out my arms, it immediately catches my hand.

“It’s here.”

“I’ll pick it up in one shot.”

Lieutenant Young So-jin was handed the fruit, and held it out to me as it was.

on my lips.

“Uh… do I eat first?”

"Huh."

It doesn't matter, so it should be.

I took a bite of the fruit in Lieutenant Young So-jin's hand.

crispy-

sounds delicious

It tastes better when you chew it.

"tasty?"

"Yes."

Lieutenant Young So-jin takes a bite right away.

I guess you don't even have to ask what it is.

It all shows on the face.

"delicious. I don't know how something like this is in the dungeon. Come on, take another bite.”

"thank you."

So I took one bite, so-called Young So-Jin, and quickly ate that big fruit.

I've been eating stuff since before, so I'm a little full now.

Of course, it's still not enough, but what more could you want in the dungeon?

Even this is sensible.

***

“You’re like the company commander, how did you control the kids?”

"sorry···"

Command post in front of the dungeon.

In the phone conversation with the battalion commander, the company commander was repeating only what Kim Oh-cheol had said to him earlier.

He only said sorry at the bottom.

“Wait for a moment. The division sends the dungeon management team as soon as possible. It will probably arrive in the evening. And if I go to work, I can open the exit at dawn.”

"all right."

“Who is that bastard?”

“Who are you talking about…”

“You bastard who did it today!”

“This is Corporal Kim Oh-cheol from the 3rd platoon!”

“That bastard immediately convenes a disciplinary committee and takes care of it, whether it be sent to a military training camp or sent to the moon. okay?"

"Yes!"

“Know that you’re not going to go away, either.”

"Yes···"

“Finish the dungeon and return.”

“Yes, chung…”

drip-

The battalion commander hung up the phone without even getting a salute.

The lieutenant colonel's face lit up with concern.

‘Oh, Kim Oh-cheol, you bastard, you will regret today very deeply.’

***

“Isn’t there something glamorous?”

“Are you talking about the lake?”

"Huh. The surrounding scenery is also very nice.”

On the way back to the tent.

Lieutenant Young Sojin spreads his arms across the lake and its surroundings.

And breathe in.

“The air is very clear. You should come for a picnic, not a hunt.”

“Oh.”

"Why?"

“Ah, I thought about that for a moment when I passed by here.”

“Did you? Dojini has similar emotions to me.”

Lieutenant Young Sojin said, pointing his finger to the sky.

“Isn’t the sky so pretty? There are so many different things.”

"Yes. I don’t see things like that from the outside.”

“So. I’m going to have to keep a lot of it now.”

Second Lieutenant Young So-jin lay down on the bush.

“Dojin-ah, lie down too. Show me better.”

"Yes."

I also lay down next to Lieutenant Young So-jin.

The stars in the night sky come into view.

Is this a dungeon or a travel destination?

momentarily confused.

So beautiful.

“What is going on outside?”

“Maybe… didn’t you report it to your superiors and send them down to the dungeon management department?”

“Is that so?”

"Yes. But by the time those people come and work, it seems like the exit time is running out and it will open again.”

“Coming here and there.”

Lieutenant Young So-jin took a deep breath, and then sighed again as if thinking of something.

“I’m worried about Oh Chul-yi getting hurt, but I really don’t know why.”

I'm not worried about getting hurt.

I should have just looked.

“I didn’t quite understand either.”

“I will probably go to the army and receive severe punishment. And I will... Come to think of it, my fault is huge. I should have been in control.”

"no. Even the platoon commander, no, the company commander wouldn't have been able to stop it from jumping out like that."

“Uhhh… but because I still have my role as a senior squad leader. It's my fault."

When he turned his head slightly, Lieutenant Young So-jin's face darkened a lot.

It wasn't really about Kim Oh-cheol, but really blamed himself.

oh, that bastard.

Take punishment or hard

Lieutenant Young So-jin will not receive such a severe punishment though.

Maybe it ends up being a rebuke.‘In the end, I saved Kim Oh-cheol, and I caught all the orcs in this double dungeon.’

I looked up at the night sky again, hoping that it would go well.

Lieutenant Young So-jin was also looking at the stars again.

“Will you stop waking up?”

"Yes."

After a while, I got up from my seat.

And returned to the tent.

The time is already 22:00.

Whether you go out early in the morning or in the morning, it's time to go to bed anyway.

“I will sleep here.”

I pointed to a tree by the tent.

The bushes are fluffy.

Even if it rains, the leaves will block it.

"cellar···"

"Fine."

I lay down on my own, emphasizing that there is absolutely no discomfort.

But Lieutenant Young So-jin seemed to have other reasons.

“I think there will be a lot of bugs and mosquitoes.”

“I know because I live in the countryside, but it’s not like there are a lot of bugs and mosquitoes.”

It's not a lie.

If there were going to be a lot of them, they would have come out right away and bit their arms and legs.

But I haven't gotten a single bite yet.

“Don’t worry, sleep.”

I sent Lieutenant Young So-jin to the tent like a push.

And it lay flat.

Under the tree in the cool breeze.

big

It's the perfect environment for you.

Of course, compared to a tent, it's not worth a quarter of a penny, but you can't go in there and sleep together.

I'm trying to sleep like that...

Wei Ying-

Yes?

Did I hear it wrong?

Wei Ying-

Wei Ying-

Wei Ying-

I didn't hear it wrong...

It was a mosquito...

I thought it wasn't there, but there were mosquitoes...

slap!

There seems to be an insect on the side of the leg...

Shit···

Nope.

let's sleep though

It's better than sleeping on shrimp in the cold in the cold season...

Wei Ying-

Creeper horn.

Mosquitoes are scarier than the cold.

I can't sleep at all.

“Dojin-ah.”

Then, the tent was opened.

“Pr. Dojin Choi!”

“Are there really no mosquitoes and bugs?”

“Yes, no.”

Despite my answer, Lieutenant Young So-jin was already coming out of the tent.

“Are you scratching your arm right now?”

“Ah, haha, this is just because it tickles.”

“I scratched it because it itchy, and it bleeds.”

“Great...”

“I can see everything flying around.”

“...”

Lieutenant Young So-jin suddenly stares at me.

“Dojin-ah.”

“Private Choi Do-jin.”

“Am I uncomfortable?”

Uh... what's wrong with you?

I didn't know English all of a sudden, but I answered once.

"no. It's not uncomfortable at all.”

"Is not it?"

Lieutenant Young So-jin refers to the tent.

“Then let’s go and sleep together.”
